Software Engineer Interview Experience

April 7, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Mix of LeetCode easy and behavioral problems.

Overall negative process. Lots of repeat questions for behavioral, then went dark for two weeks after final rounds, only to tell me they're moving on.

Completely unprepared for remote interviews due to COVID-19.

Not respectful of my time. If you are going to reject a candidate, do it sooner rather than going completely dark.
